Politics & Government - 9 August 2006

man i was worried for a minute and you have gone and bailed us out. Republicans had to fight some battles come election time but man you really saved our a.ss! You have finaly proven who you really are. all left all the time with no exceptions. no faultering from your talking points or it will be a slaughter. Sorry Joe from Cincinati a great democrat from the old days when your party was not insane. the man used to ride buses down to alabama in the 60's but modern libs do not care. and anti semitism is going over great in alot of areas, good job on that too. look back in your history to FDR, JFK, and TRUMAN the last leaders you had that made a difference. they were tough on our enemies and knew that this great country had to be protected no matter if you like who the pres is or not. the COUNTRY was more important the which side got to hold the ball. so thank you for taking the wool off and showing that radical views are your only views and hatred, and doom spew from your side daily!

This is from a Washington Post article:

"The Bush administration has drafted amendments to a war crimes law that would eliminate the risk of prosecution for political appointees, CIA officers and former military personnel for humiliating or degrading war prisoners, according to U.S. officials and a copy of the amendments.

Officials say the amendments would alter a U.S. law passed in the mid-1990s that criminalized violations of the Geneva Conventions, a set of international treaties governing military conduct in wartime. The conventions generally bar the cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment of wartime prisoners without spelling out what all those terms mean."

The rest of the article is here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14236728/

So whaddya think? It seems to me the thinking here is that if the administration can get the law changed, they can't be charged with crimes of which they know they are currently guilty of committing.

POLICY?

Insults have gotten so bad that I can't answer just ONE question without seeing in other answers things like, "you are stupid.' And it goes both ways... democrats or republicans.

I am serious. I have been answering question for only about 15 minutes today and have already had to report 5 ppl. And then when I think I have found a serious question, what do I see, insulting answers to some guy's very serious question.

It is quite pathetic and is going to run off intelligent, descent ppl who want to participate at a mature level.

I think there should be a NO TOLERANCE stance where one strike = banned. Obviously the current system is not working because we are getting overran by immature children that will not behave no matter how many violations they get.

mine is that we should let down all the restrictions on getting in to america except for a very few such as no serial killers or major criminals, thus making it as easy as possible to become an american citizen
also i think we should patrol the border heavily to catch those who still try to sneak in, and put them in prison for a few years

some say this would make it too easy for terrorists to enter as a citizen, but if you ask me it already is
plus alquaida doesnt scare me, gangs, robberies, murder, and the drug trade do.

others compain that americans would lose their jobs to immigrants
this is unfortunately true, as they are usually willing to work very hard for low wages, but isnt that what made america great in the first place? immigration?
i mean come on when was the last time a native american who rose from humble beginnings to become the ceo of a major corporation?

If I disagree with your position I am automatically branded whatever you're not. If I agree with a person who is a "liberal" American does that really mean that I am "conservative" and vice versa - is there really only two ways people in America are allowed to think? Seriously as a Canadian I just don't get it? Our political parties carry the names you use "liberal and conservative" but we are not to be confused with Democrats or Republicans...I like to think I am for all people and common decency - yet by that very notion I have been attacked in your country for supporting criminals rights over law abiding citizens simply by stating you were losing rights and freedoms under the "patriot act". What the hell was my question? Oh yeah why one or the other? Curious me.

Hi I'm a college student. I need your help, I don't know whether I should sue Burger King for the reason that I always used to go to buy some of those new chicken fries they have but ever since 5 days ago this old dude, who also goes to Burger King everyday at the same time as me, also buys Chicken Fries! Then when I want to order after him they tell me that they ran out of Chicken fries. What the heck? Should I sue Burger King? =/ How is it that they have Chicken Fries for him but when I walk in the store they automatically run out of chicken fries.

his public defender is saying that he most likely get 9-16 months and he has already served 6 and has yet to be arraigned. he has no prior record and the robbery was unarmed. he supposedly got away with 7 grand. i was just wondering how realistic is it for him to get 9-16 months considering this crime? it seems like too much of a lenient sentence for a crime like this. please answer if u have knowledge of the law and please serious answers only!
